A thirteen year old girl over the weekend drowned in Lake Bunyonyi while fetching water.
Ms Monica Musinguzi, a primary six pupil at Kagorogoro primary school and daughter to one Mr. Edward Ndyomugyenyi, a resident of Kifurugutu in Kagorogoro village, Butanda sub county, Kabale district, reportedly drowned at around 07:00 pm on Saturday.
According to her bereaved father, the late Monica left home happily to fetch water for domestic use and after fetching and trying to pull a 20 litre jerrycan from the lake, she slid and drowned.
